Add column for Modified date, and allow sorting on it.
It would be really handy to be able to add a column for and sort based on "Modified date" field. Currently the "Updated" column is not useful if you are doing content migrations from outside sources. While the files maintain the "modified date", they get an "Updated date" of the day it was migrated.
We are considering migrating our existing LAN contents to Box. Our users frequently need to sort on last modified date. We are uploading all data to Box and retaining the original date stamps where possible. Sorting is key.
66 votesDue to other higher priorities, we are not considering this item at this time.

Using Box for Salesforce on Salesforce Knowledge
Salesforce Knowledge is useful for service organizations for keeping internal and external customers up-to-date on the latest support items.
Box for Salesforce is a great way to manage assets related to specific Salesforce records and keep things organized.
Making Box for Salesforce available on Salesforce Knowledge would save space, apply the same asset organization and save on Salesforce storage space.
This would be different than the Box Community app which allows you to preview a specific Box file on a page.
For internal support reps, using Knowledge to handle customer inquires on support cases would be aided by not having…2 votes -

"Feature Requests for API Enhancements: Folder/Event Details, Access Dates, Upload-Email Modifications, External User Details"
Feature Requests, ordered by priority (if anything is not clear please communicate with Noam):
In copy/move/rename events, the API should include the id of both the target and origin locations (from-to)
In file/folder get info API, the last access date of the file and folder should be provided (in addition to the modify date)
A new event type for modification of upload-email properties, such as access type (in addition to the existing enable/disable events for upload email functionality)
External users – get external users name and id in Get Enterprise Users api (this is currently not working), get an external…

Add ability to change sort order of comments
In the latest UI, comments on files are sorted in chronological order instead of reverse chronological order. I'd like the option to change my sort order so that newest comments are listed first.
18 votesAs part of the usability enhancements rolling out in the update noted here here – https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Product-Updates/Simplified-Sharing-Public-Beta/idi-p/64620 – we updated the Activity sidebar in Preview to sort comments with the latest comment at the bottom, aligning with the comment composer’s location at the bottom and to make way for future updates planned for the sidebar. As a result, we don’t plan to change sort order.

Show "Last Updated By" in Box Sync
In BOX.com, there is a field to show the “last updated by”, which shows the name of the collaborator who last modified the file.
Would like the same feature to be available in Box Sync. We would like to tag the filename with the modified by collaborator via a script.

On the browser interface, the option to Sync and Download should be the top two options in the menu
On the browser interface, the option to Sync a file or folder is in the secondary, “More Options” section of the fly-out menu. Shouldn’t "Sync" and "Download" be the top two options on the fly-out menu? That’s what most of us want to do when we use the browser interface.
1 voteThanks for the feedback! While we’re always looking for ways to improve usability on the site, we don’t plan to make this change since we’re moving toward the ‘Mark for Offline’ feature with the newer Box Drive desktop app as the long-term replacement for the ‘syncing’ features of Box Sync.
If you haven’t checked out Box Drive, I recommend downloading it and trying it out, especially now that it allows you to view all of your Box folders and files directly within Windows Explorer / macOS Finder on your desktop, and you can simply right-click a folder and choose ‘make available offline’ right from your desktop too.

Populate accessible_by field in get collaborations
When managing collaborators, the end user needs to see who they have sent invitations to, even if those invitations have not yet been accepted and the other user has not created a box account. The call to get collaborations on a file or folder returns accessible_by: null for pending collaboration requests, essentially hiding the details of the pending requests and making it impossible to display those details to a user in a custom app. This data is definitely available because this feature exists in the main Box.com interface, but has not been exposed to the APIs yet.

Option to open links directly in desktop applications (rather than Box Preview)
Currently when I receive a link to a file on Box via email, clicking the link takes me to Box Preview. A couple of steps are needed before I can open the file using the relevant desktop application (e.g. Word, rather than Word Online or Box Preview), which is invariably what I want to do. It is problematic to need to access files via a web browser if I am not connected to the internet or if my connection is poor. Please could you introduce a way to quickly open lists directly in desktop applications?

Make it easier for users to specify their preferred text editor (or any other type of editor)
In many tech companies, different developer staff have different preferences on what text editors to use when editing files with Box Edit. Although the default editor for text files can be changed by modifying a registry key on the user's PC, the customer IT team (who does not like the idea of users modifying their PC registry) would like to have a user option where the user can specify their preferred text editor (similar to what is currently available in the Box user settings for Word, PPT and Excel files).
1 voteThe Box Edit app relies on the ‘default’ app settings that you have chosen at the OS-level (meaning in Windows settings or macOS settings) for what is the ‘default’ app for opening a given file type. If you’d like a specific file type opened in a different desktop app on their computer, simply change your default app settings within your Windows or macOS settings.
We only have a native preference in the Box web app when a specific file type has additional cloud-based editing integrations available on Box (like Office files, for example).

Web App: Grey-out "Allow users to join as" setting when blocked via admin console.
We have many users who have opened up tickets or ask questions in regards to the folder setting “Allow anyone who can access this folder from a shared link to join as a collaborator. Allow users to join as.”
This option is disabled, yet unlike the other options which are disabled, this is not greyed out. It throws a non-descript error of “Sorry, there was a problem saving the settings for this folder” which leads users to believe there is an issue with their access level, rather than this is not current functionality. Can we please have this option greyed…

Drive: More granular controls when designating a file as Marked for Offline
I tried to select particular folders to sync, but found that other folders that I had not selected were then trying to sync. I tried to stop them syncing, to find that then stopped the folders I was trying to sync. After going backwards and forwards a few times, Box Drive crashes.
I just want this feature to work as it should, syncing just the folders I want and leaving the rest as online access only.
What is happening is that when you click on a folder to select it and then mark it for offline, it is fine.
